Career
Stuart originally played rugby for Paris University in season 1997-1998 before signing for Leicester Tigers in the 1998-1999 season. He had 8 starts for the Tigers and a further 8 appearances from the substitutes bench. Scotland"s performances in the Five Nations championship inspired me and, having spoken with the Glasgow Caledonians coaching staff, they have assured me that they intend to play the same 15-man game."
Stuart had rejected approaches from England Students and the England Under 21 side to play for Scotland.
He played for Scotland Under 21s in 1997 and was then picked for a Scotland "A" international against Ireland "A" in the 1999-2000 season, however he was later found to be ineligible in 2000.
Stuart then had to wait out his residency period before making his dream return to Scotland colours. He earned a legitimate Scotland "A" cap to finally confirm his Scottish nationality - against Romania on 5 November 2002.
He was signed by the Border Reivers in 2002. When not involved with the professional provincial side he played for the amateur side Selkirk Reconstruction Finance Corporation. In 2004, Stuart went back to France and signed for Lyon OU. In 2005 he moved to Atlantique Stade Rochelais and played there till 2008.
When Stuart finished his professional playing career he worked in marketing for Force XV. He then became a rugby agent at Top Marque Sports and is now a director of the company.
